Two Peregrines

Two peregrine falcons flew over head this morning. One was following close behind the other. They were flying at speed in a straight line with one of them continuously calling as it went. They were heading in a westerly direction which suggests that they were not migrating. They did appear to be flying with a purpose. There are so many wood pigeons around at the moment, as the wheat is being harvested, it would be great if the falcons stuck around to feast on some of them.
